Repurposed Rusty Fencing


Found this bundle of rusty garden fencing . . .
curbside while visiting New York . . . 


Carried it on the subway {lol} and 
packed it in a suitcase to get it home.

Inspired by its green color, 
I decided to make a tree
which can be used inside or out . . .

. . . I took it to Junk Fest to display ornaments.




Hope you're having a great start to the New Year!

I will be sharing a few back posts 
from Christmas crafting.

I've currently taken on the role 
of redesigning a thrift store and adding a coffee shop, 
so I will be somewhat MIA from blogging 
and won't have much time to blog visit
over the next few months, 
but I hope you'll keep in touch.
I will catch up when I have some free time.

I may do a few posts on the 
thrift store project as it progresses.
It's a great opportunity, and all proceeds 
benefit a local family shelter.

  1. I love this idea! I want to make something like it to display some collectible ornaments. I think sometimes special ornaments get "lost" on a Christmas tree.

  2. This makes a great "tree." Surely I have some rusty old fencing tucked away! Please don't stop blogging! Just a note of inspiration per month keeps you in the loop and everyone happy!

  9. That is just so creative! I really like that. I laughed at the thought of you carrying it on the subway. That sounds exactly like something I would do.

    And my family would be clear on the other side of the car pretending that they didn't know me.
